Decision made: This will be the next coach of Real Madrid

Real Madrid has already decided who will take over in the dugout once Carlo Ancelotti's tenure ends. Despite the numerous rumors circulating in recent days about a possible immediate departure of the Italian coach, especially after the upcoming Sunday's Clásico, the reality is different. As revealed by Manu Carreño on El Larguero of Cadena SER, the white club has no intention of announcing anything after the match against Barcelona, regardless of the result.

Ancelotti will continue to lead the team until the end of the league championship, after which he will leave to coach the Brazilian national team. The chosen one to lead the new Merengue project will be Xabi Alonso. The current Bayer Leverkusen coach, with a brilliant recent track record in the Bundesliga, already has the club's support, and his arrival is planned for next summer, just in time to take the reins at the Club World Cup.

Florentino Pérez has already made the decision

Thus, the possibility of Santiago Solari acting as an interim coach, as had been speculated, is ruled out. Real Madrid has opted for a direct transition towards the new era that will be led by the Donostia-born coach.

Ancelotti himself, when asked a few days ago about his future, made it clear that his focus is on the present and on finishing the season as well as possible. "I am focused on preparing the matches well," he stated. Therefore, barring an unexpected turn, Xabi Alonso will sit on the white bench from June onwards. His knowledge of the club, his style of play, and his recent success as a coach have convinced the board, which is already working on his incorporation. The post-Ancelotti era already has a name and surname.
